I have grown up taking care of animals. Currently in my mother's house is 6 dogs! Two chi-weenies, two corgi's, and two white/ yellow labs! I also take care of my grandmother's dog and her parrot while she goes out of town and she has a afriend bongo mixed with a benjI. I have a 3 year old child and I am a stay at home mom. I am available all times of day to care for your furbaby! In order to house sit for an extended period I would have to bring my son for the over night he is 3 years old and great with animals! We would provide a clean, friendly environment for your pet while you are away! Let me know if you have any issues!
